Ok I'll start this thing off.

Anybody know the reason the Hendrick guys are switching their numbers around for the All-Star race? (Well JJ and Martin)

Diecast sales, and sponsors = money lol.

Subject: Re: Racing Discussion Thread Tue May 17, 2011 12:50 pm

Ya know... stickying the thread would've helped in the first place... oops XD

Martin is running the 25 as a tribute for the #25 being first used by Hendrick Motorsports 25 years ago... I guess Team Lowe's Racing got in on it just to promote their new discounts...

The 5 scheme looks like complete shit, too lol

Jennifer took her car out to Earnhardt Technologies to try to fix it up.

Also purchased a team van so the crew can get back and forth.

She is doing double duty this weekend. Lol, I sure hope they got their shit figured out.

Also, would someone please tell the Cope twins they aren't on the entry list? I think Uncle Cerrike fooled them.

i give kudos to your amazing work....it just very weird lol

Subject: Re: Racing Discussion Thread Thu May 19, 2011 9:01 am

Looks better than the street version Razz

Although, after seeing the street version quite a few times on the roads here, I'm starting to come around to that lol

So of the 2 Cup drivers who are racing at Iowa this week (pricks)... which one is going to dominate? I put my money on Edwards...

Nothing that could ever be painted on NASCAR's cookie cutter templates could ever look as good as the street version.

just sayin'

i dont think it looks like shit, i just dont like the front end. the back end looks quite sexy though

Subject: Re: Racing Discussion Thread Sat May 21, 2011 5:59 am

Yeah, both Cope twins are in the race, due to there only being 43 entries.
Angela in the 44, Amber in the 93. Both Chevies provided by Tri-Star. So they shouldn't be god-awful, but as Eric McClure has shown, you can still suck in decent equipment.

I wouldn't say TriStar has extremely decent equipment, but Mike Bliss is an extremely talented driver compared to everyone else in that organization... He's not like Busch or any of the cup guys, but he's almost always in the top 15 to 20 each week it seems... Then again, could be cause all of the crappy teams have such (crappy) equipment, too...

I thought the 44 was the S&P car that Tri-Star gave Jeff Green the honor to drive?

Subject: Re: Racing Discussion Thread Sat May 21, 2011 8:58 am

Not for this week obviously...

It's an S&P to help fund the 19 (and 14 too, Hefty probably doesn't give the team amples amount of money lol) so Bliss (and McClure) can run the full race...

Kinda like the 60 Cup team with Casey Mears' team and the 81 with the 46 (and so on)

Tri-Star's good fleet is 2009/2010 Red Bull cup chassis'. Their secondary fleet (which they may have to dip into after Dover) is old Front Row cars.

Tri-Star probably has some of the better small team equipment out there. I would rank them just below RAB and RWI on the list.

Subject: Re: Racing Discussion Thread Sun May 22, 2011 2:43 am

RAB and RWI both have chassis support from JGR with Triad engines, right? I mean Kenny Wallace has some great cars this year, and he's been showing them off quite a bit! haha

Guess JGR started supporting them when Brian Scott drove the 09 late last year
